Been seeing some big ducks here but I'm not sure if their residents. HPMMU opens tomorrow and I'm excited!

I've had wood ducks on the creek behind my house the last 3 mornings. That's all I've seen anywhere so far.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Saw about 20 Widgeon last week at a park, then 17 Coots today
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Migratory song birds like white-throated sparrows and ruby-crowned kinglets are just now starting to show in small numbers at my feeders. No chipping sparrows or juncos at all. Lovin these mid/upper 80's.............NOT
